Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

Recursion:

Recursion is a process where function is called again and again by itself for a specific number of times.

  • There are two types of recursive functions. They are:
    • Direct recursion
    • Indirect recursion

Direct Recursion:

When a function calls the same function repeatedly until the condition becomes false then it is called as direct recursion.

Indirect Recursion:

When a function calls another function which in turn calls the same calling function then it is called as indirect recursion.

Example:

Consider the following example, the function “Add()” can be called itself in the same function definition. So, it comes under direct recursion.

#Define the Add()function

def Add()

    #Print the message

print('Example of recursive function!!')

    #Call the Add() function recursively

    Add()

Explanation for wrong options:

Calls a different module:

A recursive function cannot call the different function.

Hence, the option “A” is wrong.

Abnormally halts the program:

A recursive function cannot halt the program.

Hence, the option “B” is wrong.

Can be called only once:

A recursive function can call more than once in a program.

Hence, the option “D” is wrong.

This is for my Computer Organization & Assembly Language Class
Please answer the homework scenario below and make a JAVA OOP code. You have been hired by GMU to create and manage their course registration portal. Your first task is to develop a program that will create and track different courses in the portal.  Each course has the following properties:  • a course number ex. IT 106, IT 206,  • A course description, ex. Intro to Programming • Total credit hour ex. 3.0, and  • current enrollment ex. 30 Each course must have at least a course number and credit hours. The maximum enrollment for each course is 40 students. The current enrollment should be no greater than the maximum enrollment. A course can have a maximum of 4 credit hour. The DDC should calculate the number of seats remaining for the course. Design an object-oriented solution to create a data definition class for the course object. The course class must define all the constructors, mutators with proper validation, accessors, and special purpose methods. The DDC should calculate the…
For this case study, students will analyze the ethical considerations surrounding artificial intelligence and big data in healthcare, as explored in the case study found in the textbook (pages 34-36) and in the extended version available here  There will also be additional articles in this weeks learning module to show both sides of the coin. https://www.delftdesignforvalues.nl/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Saving-the-life-of-medical-ethics-in-the-age-of-AI-and-Big-Data.pdf   Students should refer to the syllabus for specific guidelines regarding length, format, and content requirements.   Reflection Questions to Consider: What are the key ethical dilemmas presented in the case? How does AI challenge traditional medical ethics principles such as autonomy, beneficence, and confidentiality? In what ways can responsible innovation help address moral overload in healthcare decision-making? What are the potential risks and benefits of integrating AI-driven decision-making into patient care?…
